Well I'm gonna add some more snakes of the bitis genus to my collection. I already have Bitis g. rhinoceros.
I'm considering adding the following to my collection.
Bitis g. gabonica
Bitis c. cornuta
Bitis nasicornis
With the additional bitis being added to my collection, I feel the need to stock A/V. Doing some research I find there are a few sources for Bitis A/V. My question to the group is which manufactuer of A/V for this genus might be better over another?
As far as importing A/V, that's not really a big deal for me, as my doctor and myself have been down this road before. I'm just looking for a A/V with a positive proven track record, if that's possible.

SAIMR Polyvalent would be the recommended medication for the listed Bitis spp. There is another medication made in Saudi Arabia - not familiar with it.Do you have your BB-IND?

I'll vouch for the antivenin manufactured by the South African Institute for Medical Research as well. They have been in business for many years & have a great product.

Last I heard, SAIMR wasn't that expensive, so you should be fine.

Well the good folks at SAIMR sent me the information I had requested, plus the A/V is only $144 per vial, not including shipping. Damn I wish my CroFab was that cheap.
